LAS VEGAS, Jan. 05, 2018 -- NXP Semiconductors N.V., the world’s largest supplier of automotive semiconductors 1, has announced the latest addition to its industry leading 77GHz radar portfolio. Adopted by top global automakers, the NXP MR3003 Radar Transceiver is specifically developed for front or corner radar applications in automated driving, where high resolution and long-range capabilities are needed. The new range of NXP system components enables carmakers to match their requirements to true system solutions, including high performance imaging radar sensing. At CES, NXP and its partners will demonstrate a range of radar applications to enable broadening the role of radar in future cars.

The rise of automated driving changes the landscape for radar. The increased demand for both front view and 360-degree surround view sensing has led automakers to search for the best RF performance, power consumption and sensor size based on the specifics of the application and the in-vehicle location.

NXP’s full suite of radar transceivers completes the industry’s only radar portfolio based on both BiCMOS and advanced RFCMOS process technologies, to match carmaker requirements with a complete system solution. Complemented by the NXP S32R automotive radar processing platform, networking ICs and power management solutions, the NXP radar portfolio enables automakers to develop systems ranging from small, compact radar sensors through high resolution imaging radar sensing applications, enabling broad penetration of radar across the full range of car models. It is estimated that more than 50 percent of all car radar modules shipped in 2017 have utilized NXP radar technology.

>> A scalable radar platform to cover long-, mid- and short-range radar requirements. Using a single NXP TEF81x RFCMOS radar transceiver along with the S32R274 processor, the demonstration will highlight the high performance, ultra-compact design and low power consumption enabling up to 12-20 radar sensors to be connected together around the car.
